 What is BIM?
Building Information Modeling

What is BIM? (Building Information Modeling)

BIM -- Building Information Modeling -- is very much talked about in the building industry, but what is it
really, what is it useful for, and who should use it?

Building Information Modeling (BIM)

This video illustrates the powerful capabilities of Building Information Modeling (BIM) to streamline the
design process. BIM seamlessly bridges gaps in communications between owners, architects, engineers, and
contractors by giving visual representation of potential issues and allows for faster, more accurate
resolutions.

Issues and allows for faster, more accurate resolution.

BIM creates a 3D digital model of an actual

building that allows you to simulate the
building before actual construction begins.

Benefits of using BIM

•Communication (between
all trades)
•Creates digital prototype
•Allows for various design
options
•Predicts building performance
•Allows for shop fabrication of
contents
•Provides data management
(schedules, building cost, future
management cost)
 What is Rapid Prototyping?

Rapid Prototyping
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwQ5HA8sE-k
 Rapid Prototyping is a 3D printer that
produces a 3D model of an object so
clients can determine if the part meets
their needs before continuing production.

How does it work:

A CAD drawing is divided into “slices”.
The drawing is transformed into
layers on a platform with a
plastic resin to create the gradual
buildup that creates the 3D
object.
 What is Industrial Design?
use of both applied art and science
to improve aesthetics, ergonomics,
functionality, and/or usability of a
product.
Industrial Design

Ergonomics: an applied science concerned
with designing and arranging things people
use so that people and things interact most
efficiently and safety.
 Qualities need to be an
Industrial Designer
• good visual communication skills
• good business skills
• ability to use research to create design
• Be able to understanding mankind and how
products effect their life
 What is LEED?
Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design
What is LEED? (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
This video explains the basics of LEED certification and LEED accreditation. If you are serious about
learning more about LEED and getting into a green career
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTIZBFeF2Nc

Green Building rating system –

third party verification for the
design, construction, and
operation of superior green
buildings.
 What is Sustainable Design?
ways to reduce the impact of products on the environment

5 Principles of Sustainability
•Cyclic = recycle materials
•Solar = renewable energy
•Safe = nontoxic
•Efficient = less of material & energy
•Social = good for people

5 Principles of Sustainability Design

The three layers of sustainability and the five principles to reduce
the impact of products on the environment.
